by Yang Chü-Yüan (flourished late 8th - early 9th century)
Translation by Herbert Allen Giles (1845 - 1935)
Taste
Language: English after the Chinese (中文)
The landscape which the poet loves is that of early May, When budding greenness half concealed enwraps each willow spray. That beautiful embroidery the days of summer yield, Appeals to every bumpkin who may take his walks afield.
